not really a doc, basically the video is the documentation.
in short form:
Video:
connect the composite video testpoint and gnd to the 5,8ghz sender module
Head tracker:
The mpu6050 is connected to an atmega 32u4 base MCU (arduino micro) via I2C (default pins)
connect the Head tracking unit via USB cable to the pi
Controller:
controller is another Arduino micro that reads buttons and is also connected via usb to the pi
the rest is code and configuration available in the download section /seen in the video.
